Billy Mays'death came as one hell of a shock and meant a lot to me. Let me explain why.
When I first came to America I wondered at this strange shouty-man with his black beard and lumberjack build yelling at me from the TV and I marvelled that, somehow, he’d managed to get a job advertising various people’s products that way. I asked my wife and she told me, matter of factly, that it was Billy Mays. Of course it was. So I turned to that font of all knowledge, Wikipedia and found out a little bit about the man who’d raised from selling stuff on the Atlantic City boardwalk to TV semi-celebrity.
As time passed, I’d see him and my wife would always say: “there’s your man” and we would smile. To me, in a way, he came to symbolise my new life in America and I trusted him to sell me stuff because he put his name to it - think about it: if the goods he was pushing didn’t work, how long would he be able to stand up there and start, “Billy Mays here…” and still have people believe in him?
So his passing struck me in a way it probably didn’t for most Americans. To me he was the fist “American” celebrity I will have to mourn on my own. No-one in the UK would have a clue who he was, he was no Michael Jackson after all, so his death was a disconnect, a separation, from my old life and a date of note in my new home.
RIP Billy Mays, 1958-2009

I-phone shot of a foggy sunrise at Grandview Cemetery. I think I'm starting an I-phone photography obsession.
I was cutting my lawn this afternoon and noticed a rather large commotion going on in the corner of my yard. Junior was learning to fly with the assistance of at least two adult females and one adult male cardinal. They were very enthusiastic about the process. I turned off the mower and ran inside for my camera - how sweet is that little bird face?!

Bell Road Farm
Palmer Township
Washington County, Ohio
I like rural scenes such as this, and like red barns more than white ones, probably because red barns were common in the northwest part of Ohio when I was growing up there. Tim Hoeflich (thoeflich) and I stopped to photograph this farm and one just south of it three weeks ago, as we headed to Bell covered bridge, one of the bridges I first saw in May 2009, during the first get-together I had with Tim (and with Pat Rodgers).

The Robert C. Byrd Bridge, known locally as the Sixth Street Bridge, connects Chesapeake, Ohio, on the left with downtown Huntington, West Virginia, on the right. The four-lane bridge with a really good sidewalk for photography purposes opened for traffic in autumn 1994. It was repainted dark green last year.

That is Louisville, Kentucky on the other side of the train tracks.
Although the limestone shores of the Ohio River are far away from any modern ocean, the above fossil coated in white is a coral from an ancient sea.
The Falls of Ohio State Park webpage states of this place above the Ohio River: "The 390-million-year-old fossil beds are among the largest exposed Devonian fossil beds in the world".
According to Google maps, the point on the north shore of the Ohio River closest to Louisville actually lies in the Kentucky side of the Ohio River.
